How to Enroll in Adult High School (AHS)

1. Transcripts

Bring an official copy, if possible, of your high school transcripts to the Developmental Education
Office in Mukilteo Hall 403. This should be signed by a high school official and sealed
in an envelope. Generally, there is a High School Completion (HSC) advisor available
to meet with students Monday through Thursday from 9-12 and 1-4 and also on Fridays
from 9-12. You may also call first at 425.640.1593 to verify what hours a HSC advisor
will be available. If your high school transcripts are from out of the area, out of
state, or you are having difficulty obtaining your official transcripts, come in during
drop-in hours and a High School Completion advisor can help you with this process.

2. One-on-One Advising

A HSC advisor will evaluate your transcripts during your first advising meeting to
determine what subjects you will need to complete a High School Diploma. The HSC advisor
can also answer your questions about the Adult High School program and Edmonds Community
College and create an educational plan with you. Students then are referred to take
a placement test, called the ACCUPLACER®, and then return with their scores to sign up for classes with their HSC advisor.

3. Registration

Students meet with their HSC advisor and select courses that work with their life/work
schedules and fulfill their high school diploma requirements. Adult High School students
can go part-time or full-time and classes are available during the morning, afternoon,
and at night. Students who place at college level on the ACCUPLACER can sign up for
college level classes and earn credit towards their High School Diploma and a college
degree at the same time! After meeting with their adviser, students register and then
pay for their classes when their tuition is due. Students who register early get the
best selection of classes and, generally speaking, tuition is not due until the week
before the quarter begins or on the first day of the quarter. Tuition payment plans are available.

4. Continuing Support

Throughout the quarter, a HSC advisor is generally available Monday through Friday
during drop-in hours for students to drop by and talk to if they have questions or
concerns. Each quarter, Adult High School students meet with their advisor to select
classes for the next quarter, until they have met their High School Diploma requirements.
The High School Completion advisor is also available to help students throughout the
quarter with the process of applying for financial aid, meeting with a college or
program advisor, and supporting students in taking the next steps on a path to a college
degree or a new career.
